The user's attacks don't factor in any stat changes to the target's stats; any attacks against the user don't factor in any stat changes to the attacking Pokémon's stats. Modifiers to Speed are still applied (for Gyro Ball, etc.).

The user throws its Held Item, removing it permanently while tossing it at the target. Power, type, and side-effect are determined by the item tossed, generally by the implied weight of the item (Iron Ball is the heaviest, and the Plates are also very heavy).
